Hi Joy,

This is a limitation of sander, not 3D-RISM. There is no easy way to get around this.

You *may* not benefit from 96 processors anyway. The parallelization depends on FFTW, which does a slab decomposition along the z-axis. Parallelization will not be linear in general but if you have fewer than 4 grid points per process, there will be a large slow down. 3D-RISM should report to you the size grid it is using.
